Researchers have developed SynSur, an end-to-end pipeline for generating synthetic industrial surface defects to address the scarcity of labeled data in defect detection. The pipeline combines vision-language models, LoRA-adapted diffusion, and mask-guided inpainting to create realistic defect samples. Experiments show that while synthetic data alone cannot replace real data, it can enhance performance when combined with existing datasets, particularly in improving training regimes and cross-domain transfer.
